Within
each of the paver categories, the main considerations of cost are
determined by the cost of the materials, the processes involved, and
the labor or man hours that are required to complete the job.

Naturally,
there are a number of additional determinants of price, including
regional or local differences, local access to supplies, and
discounts offered by large supply houses, or by especially
competitive paving companies. In addition, pavers vary in price
widely mainly because there is such a wide range of products from
which to choose.

Another
consideration is the cost of maintenance or the lifecycle costs of
installed pavers. For example, a cheaper paver may keep the cost of
installation down, but that particular paver may need extra
maintenance or repairs or replacement over time.

Lifecycle
Costs

Man
made brick pavers can cost between .50 cents each, or between $5 and
$15 per square foot. They can be installed for $10 to $20 per square
foot. The cost for maintenance is low because brick pavers only
require washing and sealing every year or so.

Natural
stone pavers are more expensive. The average price is $10 to $30 per
square foot for materials and $10 to $25 for installation.
Installation is more costly because the stones usually have to be
handled individually. However, the maintenance costs are nil because
stones require no maintenance at all.

Concrete
pavers, a manufactured product, are priced somewhere between $5 and
$10 per square foot and installed for $5 to $10 per square foot. They
require periodic cleaning and sealing to maintain their color.

Concrete
pavers cost less than brick pavers and natural stone pavers because
the cost of the raw materials to manufacture concrete pavers is much
less than brick or natural stone pavers. If you are on a moderate
budget you might wish to consider concrete patio pavers for value. If
you have a higher budget, you might select brick or natural stone
pavers.
